DESCRIPTION

91515-3 is a crimping terminal used in electrical assembly applications where wires are compressed into a metal barrel to form a homogeneous connection without solder or heat. The terminal is designed to work with matched crimping tools from the same manufacturer to ensure proper crimp quality and meet industry certifications. Key performance characteristics include conductor crimp height (CH1) and insulation crimp height (CH2) measurements, along with conductor crimp width (CRI) and insulation crimp width (CR2) specifications that define proper crimp geometry. The terminal must pass rigorous testing including vibration testing (16 hours minimum), crimp tensile strength testing to prevent wire pullout, dielectric strength testing for insulation integrity, and voltage drop testing to verify electrical resistance stability. This terminal is commonly used in industrial systems where reliable, low-cost solderless connections are required, offering advantages in assembly speed, repeatability, and long-term performance when properly crimped with matched tooling.
